Chapter 1911 The Death of Liu Che (Part 2)
Chapter 1909: Death of Liu Che (Part 2)
If Liu Che really threatened the Qin army to spare his own death as a condition, Su Dingfang would never agree to it, not to mention that his surrender would reduce the Qin army's losses by tens of thousands of soldiers, even if it was 100,000.
After all, the Qin army still respected the Han Dynasty and supported the Han emperor, but Liu Che went beyond the limit and proclaimed himself emperor. This is a crime that is absolutely impossible to forgive.
If even Liu Che, who proclaimed himself emperor, could be pardoned, then if other princes proclaimed themselves emperor and surrendered after being defeated by the Qin army, would they be pardoned or not?
Therefore, everyone in the Northern Han Dynasty was exempted from responsibility, but Liu Che had to die. This was a matter of principle and the price that had to be paid for becoming emperor.
Proclaiming himself emperor is a serious crime against the nine clans. According to common sense, Liu Che's wife and children will naturally be implicated, but if there are special circumstances, pardon is not impossible, such as the current situation.
Liu Che's wife and children have not committed any crimes, and they pose no threat to the Qin army at all. However, if they are spared, the Qin army will save tens of thousands of elite soldiers from dying. Naturally, they can be pardoned depending on the situation.
"I said, there can't be any premeditation in this, right? Liu Che doesn't even care about his own life, but he will care about the lives of his wife and children?" Sun Lingming said with some disbelief.
Su Dingfang was not sure if there was a conspiracy, and said helplessly: "It's a pity that the military advisor has gone to Youbeiping and is not in the army. Otherwise, even if Liu Che has a conspiracy, as long as the military advisor is here, there will be nothing to hide."
The war situation in Beiping is urgent, but the situation in Yanjing is a foregone conclusion. As one of the three great military advisors, Zhang Liang will be overqualified if he continues to stay in Yanjing.
So, shortly after Ye Qingmei entered the city, Zhang Liang, protected by hundreds of guards, headed to Youbeiping at full speed to assist Qin Hao against the hundreds of thousands of Manchu troops.
“Bu actually felt that Liu Che was not playing any tricks. After all, if he continued to fight, he would only die in vain.
Liu Che was not a crazy person at all. Even though he knew that the war would be lost and he would die, he would fight for a chance of survival for his wife and children. As a father and husband, this was completely normal. " Lu Bu said.
Hearing this, all the generals couldn't help but nodded, feeling that what Lu Bu said was reasonable.
Seeing this, Ye Qingmei looked at Su Dingfang and asked, "Marshal Su, can you agree to Liu Che's conditions?"
Su Dingfang pondered for a while and then said: "Agree, I just let a few people go, but it can reduce the casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers and add tens of thousands more troops. Why not agree to such a good thing?"
“But what if Liu Che plays tricks?” Sun Lingming asked.
“Then let’s attack the city. Anyway, our army has no losses.”
Su Dingfang agreed to Liu Che's conditions, and Ye Qingmei once again asked for orders to go to Yanjing to negotiate the surrender with Liu Che.
"Your Majesty, Marshal Su Dingfang has agreed to your terms. He will not liquidate your wife and children after the war, and will ensure that they have enough food and clothing." Ye Qingmei said.
Liu Che shook his head and said, "No, Su Dingfang is a cunning and cunning person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
In order to attack Yanjing, he poured all kinds of dirty water on me. I don’t believe his lies. "
Hearing that Liu Che has called himself "I" instead of "I" is a good sign, and Ye Qingmei believes what Liu Che said even more.
It can be seen that Liu Che has a grudge against Su Dingfang and does not believe in Su Dingfang's promise, which gives Ye Qingmei a headache.
"Then what will it take for you to believe it, Your Majesty?"
“I don’t believe in Su Dingfang, but I believe in you, Miss Ye, so I would like to ask you, Miss Ye, to **** my wife and children out to sea.”
Liu Che's eyes were full of desolation, and he said sadly: "If they, orphans and widowers, stay under the rule of the Qin army, even if they are not liquidated, their future life will definitely be difficult. It is better to leave by sea and land and go to other countries." Clan of the Han Dynasty.”
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The King of Qin is by no means a narrow-minded person, and he will definitely not make things difficult for your wife and children."
“Qin Hao really doesn’t know how, but what about his men?”
"this…"
Ye Qingmei was speechless. She really couldn't guarantee this. Seeing this, Liu Che hurriedly said: "The distance from Yanjing to Yuyang Haikou only takes five days on horseback at full speed, and half a day on flying pigeons to deliver messages.
Miss Ye, you can **** my wife and children to the sea first. If you receive a flying pigeon message from me about surrender in five days, can you let my wife and children out to sea? "
Ye Qingmei's eyes suddenly lit up. Surrender first and then let him go? How could Liu Che be so relieved about him?
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Qingmei will not let people go after surrender?" Ye Qingmei asked.
"Miss Ye can go into danger alone for the sake of the people of Yanjing. It can be seen that she is a virtuous person and will not break her promise." Liu Che said seriously.
Ye Qingmei was a little embarrassed by what Liu Che said, and then she clasped her fists and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, since Qingmei has promised, he will definitely ensure the safety of your wife and children."
“Thank you, Miss Ye.”
Ye Qingmei nodded, then returned and reported to Su Dingfang truthfully.
Looking at Ye Qingmei's leaving figure, Liu Che's eyes flashed with guilt because he took advantage of this woman's kindness.
After a while, a dark figure appeared next to Liu Che and reported: "Your Majesty, the adults' substitutes have been prepared. There are eighteen people in total."
"Okay, I will send the queen and others out of the city tomorrow, and let them appear at the top of the city."
)
On the other side, after Ye Qingmei told everyone Liu Che's conditions, Su Dingfang and other generals couldn't help but hesitate. After all, there is a big difference between pardon and letting go.
Su Dingfang even doubted Liu Che's sincerity. It was not until Ye Qingmei said that Liu Che was willing to surrender first that he gave up his doubts about Liu Che again.
The next day, the Yanjing City Gate, which had been sealed from the inside, was finally opened from the inside.
Three carriages slowly drove out from the city gate, and the leader of the carriages was Liu Che, the puppet emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty.
As soon as Liu Checai appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on him. Su Dingfang turned a blind eye to the others, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Che to prevent him from pretending to be someone else.
After a long time, Su Dingfang said: "This is Liu Che, yes, but why did he come out in person? Aren't you afraid that I will detain him directly?"
“Su Shuai, look at the top of the city tower.” Sun Lingming said.
Su Dingfang looked up and found that generals such as Xue Gang, Xue Kui, Huo Guang, Han Zeng, Qin Hong, Yu Chijing, Luo Chang, Wang Zongli, Cheng Yuehu, Feng Qianlang, etc., all appeared on the tower and were standing in a row.
"Haha, no wonder you dare to leave the city. It turns out that you have a backup plan, so you dare to come to see your wife and children on their last journey."
Su Dingfang sighed and said: "It's kind of sentimental and righteous, and he still has the character of a hero. In this case, I will grant him permission and let him and his wife stay for a while."
Before and after the convoy arrived at the Qin army's formation, the Han queen Wei Zifu, the prince Liu Zhi, and the eldest princess Liu Ling stepped out of the carriage one after another and were inspected one by one by the Qin army. The accompanying maids and guards were also inspected, a total of about two people. Thirty people.
It was already his turn to check Liu Zhi, but because of Su Dingfang's order, Liu Zhi turned back and ran back, hugging Liu Che's thigh and burst into tears.
“Father.”
Liu Che touched his son Liu Ju's little head and said softly: "Don't call me father, call me dad."
“Dad.”
"Ju'er, from now on, daddy is no longer by your side, so you have to listen to mommy, do you understand?"
"knew."
